Abstract

In this research process, the problems experienced by migrants will become evident Venezuelans from their social problems, when arriving in the neighboring country as it is Colombia, looking for a better future but what they actually find, that through false promises and high wages, they manage to convince this determined population of Venezuelans to that through these false promises they will reach Colombian territory and be able to “obtain a great job and good pay ”in the Catatumbo area. It has been recently shown that Venezuelan emigrants are being murdered in the Catatumbo and Cúcuta area, but I will focus on the Catatumbo area which, although for no one It is a secret that since the 1940s and 1950s, according to the Historical Memory Center, evidenced the beginning of the history of the armed conflict in the sidewalks, townships and municipalities in the Catatumbo area. The objective to achieve is to explain the reasons why There are mass graves of the Venezuelan exodus in the border area of ​​Catatumbo, from the Venezuelan migrant problems. The methodology used will be qualitative, whose techniques are based on investigative journalism, where data collection was carried out by observation and interview. Research is relevant and pertinent because it is necessary to make both citizens and the government think about what is really happening with Venezuelan migrants in the Catatumbo area, making it a reality that not only It should be seen as news, but also as a situation that affects citizens Colombians as Venezuelans. At the beginning of the history of the armed conflict, the “war of colors” occurred in the 1940s and 1950s, with the bipartisan confrontation that also took place in the region. According to what the The people of Catatumbo told the Historical Memory Center that said armed conflicts generated by a series of conditions that converged, these were biodiverse territories; that it had rich natural resources which were marginalized by the State, said territories shared a border with Venezuela. Today (2020) we see new conflicts caused by armed groups that live in the Catatumbo and these lands fight. Lately deaths in this area have been evidenced in this area Venezuelan migrants who have been buried in mass graves. The N.N of the mass graves of Venezuelans deserve to be investigated in the same way that in Colombia they were investigated in the so-called "false positives" by the press. The reasons why the Venezuelan population arriving in Catatumbo can be killed they merit a journalistic investigation. In addition, by giving knowledge of this problem, prevents migrants from this type of flashy promises to acquire a favorable sum of money, prevent them from being cheated and exploited, forcing them to "work" in coca crops.
